October 4, 2007

ON TARGET: Simrad’s A170.

Furuno’s detailed F100 generates detailed “other ship” info on radar.

ON WATCH: Many manufacturers are already building non-SOLAS versinos of their “Class A” commercial AIS units, like the GlobalWatch2 from ACR.

THIS EASY: AIS could be simplified, and much cheaper, with a few innovations that fit nito a handheld.
